she looks good jason, are those MAC pipes? if so did you put them on ?
just wondering i see a lot of mac pipes and they sound good but people say the chrome dont last, and i have a schematic here somewhere for a red green charge indicator you might want to build seeing you had that charging issue

No idea on the pipes. They were on it when I got it. They aren't perfect bet are ok I guess. Not perfect but no where near bad enough to replace.
I did have to adjust them a bit as they where not put on right. Basicaly not the same on both sides.

I need to touch up a couple places on the frame where the big fairing bracket was welded on. But its seems pretty decent.


If you find that schematic let me know I wouldn't mind building that.

Well, I for one like the spoke wheels. Think they look classy. I am biased of course. My tank was so bad that it caved in in one spot. The only thing holding it together was the liner and the paint :shock: :o .
I finally found a 650C tank and matching sidecovers so it looks like a 650C with spoke wheels :)

Looks just like my bike!

I have a KG rack. But I didn't know they were designed for a case with them. Are they hard to find or expensive? When I bought the bike it had a big ugly fairing and big hardbags. The hardbags sure are handy but a case on the rack would be much better.

So far I since I have had this bike I have seen one KG trunk I like. I missed getting it and somone else bought it. I know I have seen several on ebay but none like the one I missed which had additional tail lights on it. I would love to have it. Plus they are removable.

Your rack is like mine but I have the sissy bar. I do like the mouning racks you have where your hard bags were. keeps soft saddle bags out of the way if you ever run them.

I kinda like the none goldwing wanna be look too. I think hanging a fairing and bags makes it look like a goldwing or something. Sometimes that looks ok on some bike I just think these look better without them.

Nice bike BTW

Those are KG hardbags also. The trunk looks like them. Seen the whole set on a suzuki at a J/Y. Trying to buy the trunk. Not a good pic of mine http://gallery.sohc4.net/main.php?g2_itemId=3059
Did you clean the tank out?!?!?!?!

Those hardbags would be nice if I take this bike on my AK trip....

You wouldn't still have them would you?

I still use em once in awhile. It's all torn apart right now, needs a head gasket. I've been working on a way to easily remove the rear turn signals and quickly plug in the hardbag tail lights while keeping everything neat and tidy.
